Congrats to your son on his New Ride!
The cats are in the mufflers, and yes, the ECM will accommodate just a slip-on change.
As has been mentioned by others, it has a factory lean tune, and can benefit from something like the XiED's, but it is not necessary.
When the time comes that he wants to do something to richen up the tune a bit, the following thread has a good overview of the popular options with the pros and cons.

Looked at the FuelMoto site and they show a PV1 and a PV2. Since I have a 2012 SG and he has. 2014 Slim, it looks like they require different versions, so may have to call them to find out. It was a thought anyway!
The only difference between PV-1 & PV-2 is the data cable which can be purchased separately for $24.99. You can use a single PV unit to tune both the 12 SG and 14 Slim, this would require a Power Vision unit, data cable, and a tune license. We can set the unit up ready to flash both bikes no problem.

Not just for slip ons, slip on alone and the O2 sensors will compensate for the exhaust...change the breather you need to remap the ecm

I have slip ons on my 2014 Slim and I needed to remap the ECM but I also swapped out the air cleaner; the cats are in the mufflers, not the headers.
He is going to most likely get some decel pop and its most likely going to sound a bit harsh...I know cost is a factor, however, spending the extra bit, even for an FP3, will make all the difference. Having done it, I would do the same thing.
